Latest football match prediction: Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG
After showing commendable resilience in their opening match with a 2-2 draw against FC Copenhagen, Bayer Leverkusen failed to maintain their advantage in the second half of their second match against the Dutch side.
On Tuesday night, the German team will be trying to avoid the prospect of failing to win in their first three Champions League group stage matches – something that hasn't happened since the 2016 season, when they drew all three of their opening games.
Since winning their last two European matches in 2024, Leverkusen have only managed one victory in six European cup games since the beginning of this year.
Nevertheless, they still have reason to be confident, having remained unbeaten in their last five Champions League matches against French teams at this stage of the competition.
Since Kasper Hjulmand took over from Erik ten Hag as coach, Leverkusen have remained undefeated. They are in good form in the Bundesliga with a run of two consecutive wins, most recently a dramatic 4-3 victory against Mainz last weekend.
BayArena continues to be an impenetrable fortress for the team. Leverkusen have lost only one of their last 17 group stage matches in European competitions, and won all four of their group stage matches at home last season without conceding a single goal.
Despite missing several key players in the second matchday, Paris Saint-Germain still found a way to overcome Barcelona, staging a comeback and securing the victory in the final minutes.
The reigning champions are currently unbeaten in 14 consecutive Champions League matches, winning 12 of them — including a five-match winning streak leading up to the third matchday.
If they win again on Tuesday night, PSG will equal their record for the longest winning streak in this competition, set in 1994 with six consecutive wins from September to December.
However, PSG's record in Germany isn't particularly impressive: they've only won two of their last ten away matches there and haven't kept a clean sheet in any of those games.
Furthermore, Luis Enrique's team has dropped points in two of their last three away matches across all competitions. However, a victory against Leverkusen would see PSG win all three of their opening Champions League group stage matches for the first time since 2019.
Les Parisiens have a perfect record against Leverkusen in their Champions League encounters, including a 4-0 victory at BayArena in 2014 — which was also the last time they kept a clean sheet in the group stage in Germany.
